After his second qualification run, I asked Lawrenceburg, Ind. Slopestyle skier Nick Goepper to take us through his run.

I figured it was like asking a golfer to go through his birdies and bogeys, something we do all the time. Or like asking a football player to describe what happened on the touchdown pass. Seemed harmless enough to me.

Until Goepper looked at me and said, “The whole thing?’’

Sure.

Why not?

(Let me warn you, I listened to the tape of his explanation a dozen times and tried really, really hard to get down every word. Alas, I could not. So when I don’t know what he was saying, I’ll put “inaudible.’’)

“It was a switch-two back two on the first (inaudible) down into a cork three hand drag on the (inaudible) and then a front swap pretzel two on the down rail into a switch-two misty-six out of the wall ride then a left double cork (lots of inaudible stuff here) into a switch right double ready oh-9, a screamin’ seaman and then a right side double cork 10 mute Japan.’’

Omaha! Omaha! Omaha!

I will not ask that question again.

Promise.

Let’s just say, he was stoked.

We all were.
